Question

Recently, I noticed one disk reported several soft media errors in the event log, is this a problem? Do we need to replace this disk immediately?

Most of the time, you may got soft media errors [bad block], I don't know the exact number of the threshold, FLARE will kick the hotspare in with the event number 803 [Recommend disk replacement] and will eventually proactively replace the issue disk automatically. That's one of the feature of FLARE.

software media error is normal for mechanical disk drive. CLARiiON will fix the bad sector itself. You don't need to replace it if the volume is not that much.
